Actor Kamal Haasan on Friday said he had already at home of the politics and to ask whether he would enter politics or not was immaterial.

“You should not have asked the question after listening to me discussing politics on the dais (Yaathum Tamizhe, prearranged by The Hindu Tamil) since 6 p.m. Have we past the worst anyone?” he said in reply to a question from a reader. He, however, ruled out picking any particular day for launching a political party. “It should be determined without any hurry,” he said. “It should not be on my birthday since it is my birthday. It may correspond with a revolution.”

When a member of the audience asked whether it would be September 17, the actor quipped he would decide the year.

To a question on the ideology of the projected political party — Gandhian or Marxism — he said in India leaders such as Ram Manohar Lohia had talked about Gandhian Marxism. “Even Periyar had taken part in the freedom movement before he developed a difference of opinion and went his own way. I am standing on their shoulders and articulating politics and moving in their direction,” he said.

Asked whether he would take account of actor Rajinikanth in the party he was planning to launch, he said he used to discuss professional matters with him and it would not be complex for him to discuss politics. “The only thing is I do not expose what we discussed,” he said.

By way of responding to those who faulted him for remaining silent so long as Jayalalithaa was alive, he said, “You also remained silent, but you sought to make me a sacrificial goat.” On the funding for his party, he said it would come from the poor. “It is they who fill the coffers emptied by the governments.” In another context, he said: “I am not planning to enter politics to make wealth for my great granddaughter”.
